About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private/Resort
Par 72
Length 6985 yards
Slope 147
Rating 75.5

The New Course at White Bluff tips out at 6,964 yards and features water on 16 of 18 holes. Plan your shots accordingly on this tricky track, as there are numerous blind water hazards that you will not know existed unless you’ve played the course before.

This course isn’t as scenic as the Old Course, with no views of the lake, but offers one picturesque par 4 that plays almost 400 yards with pond framed by a large rock bluff. Watch the finger of water that cuts in front of the green on the approach.

Getting there : From I-35 going N, get off at Exit 368A, drive W for about 17 miles to the City of Whitney, head N on FM (Farm to Market) 933 for 7 miles to the course.

New Course is Great

This course has a great layout, a good mix of tough holes and easy holes. Greens are coming in very nice, in a couple of weeks will be perfect. If I had a complaint, its the fairways. I wish management would do some sort of rotation and keep holes cart path only while the spring grass is still coming in, some of the fairways are so hard pan its like concrete. Just rotating a couple of holes a week to cut down cart traffic would really help.

Very Good Course

Conditions were really good. Greens looked like they were punched maybe 2 weeks ago, but coming along nicely. Greens were a bit on the slow side, but rolled smooth. Fairways were in great condition.

Worth the drive from DFW

This was my 2nd time playing this course. First time was last November, and then this past Sunday 4/2. Both times the course was in really good shape and pace of play was excellent. Fairways were in good shape. The greens rolled smooth and true. I highly recommend.

Nice Course

The new course is in good shape and the staff is always friendly. I still prefer the old course. Both courses are challenging but in different ways. The old course is more scenic with the hills and wildlife. You can't go wrong with either course.

Worth the Drive

Drive down from Dallas with a buddy for the day. Just had a great time. Course was in great shape, pace of play was under 4 hours, and the staff was helpful and friendly..just wish the pub was open when we finished as we would have loved to have a pint on the porch.

Fair and challenging layout

Played on a cold, windy day and course played plenty long from the white tees (6100 yards), although usually play blue tees (6500 yards.). Course in excellent shape. Greens running slow, probably due to winter weather. Back 9 played 30 minutes longer than front because of slow-moving, struggling 3-some that should have let our 2-some through. Staff was very friendly.
